Thai Smile plan hits air pocket

Thai Smile plan hits air pocket

A plan to set up Thai Smile Airways Co as a subsidiary of Thai Airways International has been sent back to the national carrier by the Transport Ministry for further study.

Deputy Transport Minister Prin Suwanatat said after a meeting with THAI executives on Thursday that THAI was ordered to give more details of the plan and resubmit it to a meeting next week.

The ministry's main concern was its affect on the revenue of THAI as Thai Smile plans to launch or take over some domestic and regional destinations from its parent.

Thai Smile is a business unit of THAI. The company has been pushing THAI to set it up as a subsidiary so that the national carrier would wholly own the new firm and have better control of costs and generate more profit.

Thai Smile Airways Co would be set up with registered capital of 1.8 billion baht and use Airbus aircraft.

"THAI should outline a plan on how to generate revenue to offset those routes which will be operated by Thai Smile in the future," Gen Prin said.

Destinations to be launched next year by Thai Smile include Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang, Hong Kong and Siem Reap.

THAI plans to surrender nine routes to Thai Smile including flights to Koh Samui and Bodhgaya and Varanasi in India.

Myanmar to revive 'Death Railway'

Myanmar to revive 'Death Railway'

An elegant cemetery in strife-torn southeast Myanmar has long stood as a lonely testament to the fate of thousands of prisoners of war who died building Japan's "Death Railway".



Visitors look at a tourist train as it crosses a railway bridge over the river Kwai, built during World War II, in Kanchanaburi. About 13,000 prisoners of war -- many captured in Singapore, the Malay Peninsula and what was then the Dutch East Indies -- died during construction of the railway, along with up to 100,000 civilians, mostly forced labour.

As the fast-changing nation now opens to the world, a reformist regime is considering rebuilding a stretch of the notorious World War II track to attract tourists and help develop border areas, where memories of the line have been eclipsed by conflict and poverty under decades of junta rule.

Local gardeners pluck weeds and tend flowers between neat lines of graves at the Thanbyuzayat War Cemetery in Mon state for some 3,000 Allied troops who died building the line between Myanmar and neighbouring Thailand.

"After seeing this cemetery people do not want to see war. There should not be war in the whole world," gardener Myat Soe told AFP.

"Because the soldiers died the way they did the world remembers them with sorrow. Dying fighting is honourable, but dying like this is very sad."

Many epitaphs at the site, funded by the Britain-based Commonwealth War Graves Commission, are a heart wrenching testament of how bewilderingly distant the country then called Burma was for the families of those killed.

"We were not there to clasp your hand, you passed away without a last good-bye," reads the epitaph for 26-year-old Lance Serjeant Harry Dawes, of the Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire), who died in September 1943.

Exhaustion, starvation, disease and torture were the chief causes of fatalities among those impelled by the invading Japanese to gouge a rail route through dense jungle and solid rock between October 1942 and December 1943.

About 13,000 prisoners of war -- many captured in Singapore, the Malay Peninsula and what was then the Dutch East Indies -- died during construction, along with up to 100,000 civilians, mostly forced labour from the region.

Robert Goodwin, an Australian veteran who worked on the infamous "Hellfire Pass" cutting on the Thai side of the border, said the men's relentless toil involved hacking through rock almost completely by hand.

"Every day that we worked, if anyone seemed to be slowing up they'd be belted with not just hands or pickaxes but with wire whips, with anything they could lay their hands on. The Japanese were cruel by anybody's standards."

On the Thai side, hordes of foreign visitors flock to see the track and bridge made famous by the film "The Bridge Over the River Kwai", and to ride on a stretch of the line still in operation.

The town of Kanchanaburi, a popular destination about three hours drive from the capital Bangkok, generated tourism revenue of over 2.4 billion baht last year, according to Thai officials.

That fact is not lost on Myanmar authorities keen to encourage development in the southeast of their country -- a region emerging from isolation after years of civil war.

Ceasefire deals were reached last year between local ethnic Karen and Mon rebels under a new quasi-civilian government which took power two years ago after decades of harsh military rule ended.

Surveys have now begun to trace the route from Thanbyuzayat to Three Pagodas Pass at the Thai border, according to an official from Myanmar Railways, who asked not to be named.

"This is primarily for tourism. If we can connect the railway track on the Thai side, it will help tourism develop," he said.

Phyoe Wai Yar Zar, of the Myanmar Tourism Board, said there is "huge potential" to develop tourism around the "Death Railway" in Myanmar.

But he said efforts should not only be "focused on the past" and should also showcase the heritage of the local ethnic minority population.

"I believe we shouldn't invent the wheel again. What has been done in another part of the region shouldn't be done again in Myanmar," he said.

There are, however, doubts about the feasibility of restoring the railway.

Rebuilding the track would make "little economic sense" because a hydropower dam on the Thai side blocks the original route, according to Rod Beattie, a historian who runs Kanchanaburi's Thailand-Burma Railway Centre.

The 420 kilometre (260 mile) line linking the Thai and Myanmar railway systems was aimed at resupplying the Japanese army as it fought British colonial forces and their allies.

It fell into disuse after the war ended in 1945 and much of the track was reclaimed by the jungle.

Myanmar was soon embroiled with its own internal strife as independence in 1948 heralded civil wars in ethnic areas.

In Thanbyuzayat there is little sign of remembrance beyond the gates of the cemetery.

An old locomotive and a last scrap of track on the outskirts of town acts as a memorial, but the rails have been swallowed by weeds and a huddle of statues depicting emaciated prisoners has been vandalised, smashed almost beyond recognition.

The railway has become a legend for local children, a group of whom eagerly led a visiting AFP journalist through the shady corridors of a rubber plantation to proudly display an anonymous mound of earth they were convinced marked the old route.

Gardener Myat Soe is encouraging local youths to understand the history behind the cemetery and said a planned museum would also help raise awareness.

"As long as the world exists, this cemetery will be a symbol of a tragic time," he said.

He recalled a 90-year-old Australian veteran who made the difficult journey to the cemetery two years ago to visit the grave of a friend.

"As soon as he arrived, he put down his bag beside the grave, saluted and burst into tears. It was the saddest thing I had seen in the nine years I have worked here. I cried beside him."

BTS skytrain fares to rise

BTS skytrain fares to rise

Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc plans to raise fares on its skytrain elevated service, BTS chairman Keeree Kanjanapas said on Friday.

He said ticket prices have not been changed in eight years.

Fares range between 15 baht and 40 baht, with an average fare of 24 baht per trip.

Mr Keeree said the new fares will not hit the ceiling, capped at 56 baht.

The new rate is expected to be finalised in a month, he added.

Rongkluea - Thai/Cambodian border

New bus service: Mae Sot‏ - Samut Sakhon

New bus service to Mae Sot‏ from Samut Sakhon

A new public bus route was launched on Wednesday to help migrant workers returning home to Myanmar travel from Samut Sakhon to Mae Sot on the border.

Sawit Kaewvan, secretary general of the State Enterprises Workers Relations Confederation of Thailand (SERC), said the 54-seat bus travels directly between Mahachai in Samut Sakhon's Muang district and Mae Sot district in Tak.

It was a cheap, convenient alternative for the many migrant workers employed in factories in Samut Sakhon.

On average, about 200 people a day catch a bus from Bangkok's Mor Chit station bound for Mae Sot. This number swells during Songkran and other long holidays, said Mr Sawit.

Only one bus a day was planned for the Mahachai-Mae Sot service at first, to test its viability.

The service would be of benefit not only to migrants in Samut Sakhon but also neighbouring provinces such as Petchaburi, Ratchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan, said Mr Sawit.

If migrants in Ranong were interested in a direct route to Myanmar, then maybe it could be worked out with the Transport Company later on, he added.

Wuthichart Kalayanamitra, president of Transport Co, said the new Mahachai-Mae Sot route was the result of collaboration between the SERC and Transport Co. If it proved propular it would be continued.

Transport Co was also negotiating with Myanmar to open two cross-border routes, between Mae Sot-Myawaddy and Chiang Rai-Keng Tung in Myanmar, said Mr Wuttichart.

He hoped agreement could be reached on one of the two routes this year.

He said the bus on the new Mahachai route was relatively new and should provide both safe passage, comfort and convenience for travellers.

Maung Maung, 30, a worker at a Charoen Pokphand affiliate, arrived to by buy five tickets, for himself and family members, for Wednesday 8pm departure.

He said the big bus was not only cheaper but safer and more convenient.

The other options were a shuttle bus service from Mahachai to Mae Sot, which cost about 600 baht a person. The new public bus costs 500 baht. The VIP bus from Mor Chit to Mae Sot costs 666 baht and normal buses 333 baht and 428 baht.

"It is awkward for us if we have a lot of stuff carry back home. The shuttle bus operators do not want us unless we rent the whole vehicle.

"And if we travel to Mor Chit, the ticket maybe be cheaper but it is time-consuming and very tiring, especially with children," said Maung Maung, who has been working in Thailand for five years and returned home twice.

Sein Htay, adviser to the Migrant Workers' Rights Network (MWRN), said the 54-seat public bus was a welcome alternative for migrants. The shuttle buses had been involved in some accidents.

With the public bus launched, competition should also result in better service, said Mr Sein Htay.

Importantly, migrants could now travel with some dignity as they would face only one or two checkpoints along the way, and officials would get on a bus to check their documents. When traveling on the shuttle bus or by pickup truck they had to get off the vehicle for checks at five or six stops, or even more, said Mr Sein Htay.

"Some are also harassed and humiliated, as if migrants are mere objects for discrimination even of they carry proper documents," he said.

The new bus service is the result of collaboration between the SERC, MWRN and the Transport Company, which is a state enterprise.

Migrant rights activist Andy Hall, who is facing two lawsuits due to his research on the plight of workers at a canned fruit juice producer in Prachuap Khiri Khan, also took part in the launch of the bus service on Wednesday morning.

Mr Hall said on his Twitter page that he he'd had a "productive" meeting with British Ambassador to Thailand Mark Kent.

He said the ambassador made clear the embassy's support and commitment to his personal safety and for his many years of work on behalf of migrants in Thailand.

旅泰大熊猫林冰 下月回中国

旅泰大熊猫林冰 下月回中国

在泰国出生的中国大熊猫「林冰」将于今年5月底被送返中国，它所居住的清迈动物园已开始为其回国做准备，并将举办欢送会与「林冰」惜别。  

泰国「曼谷邮报」报导说，按照与中国的合约规定，「林冰」将于下月27日满4周岁时返回中国。  

2009年5月27日「林冰」在泰国出生。它是中国租借给清迈动物园的大熊猫「林惠」和「创创」的后代。作为第一只出生在泰国的大熊猫幼崽，「林冰」一直是泰国家喻户晓的明星，当年一场为她取名的大赛吸引了2200万参与者。泰国一家电视台还曾开设「大熊猫频道」，从它出生之日起，每天24小时直播它的生活起居，直播了整整３年。按照中国熊猫租借规定，「林冰」本应在两年前就回到中国。 2010年，鋻于泰方对「林冰」的照料十分细致到位，中国特批其在泰居留时间延长两年。

  清迈动物园熊猫研究项目负责人帕瑟萨说，为使「林冰」回国后更好地适应中国四川成都的气候，现在动物园每天让它在人造雪场玩耍一小时。此外，动物园还计画在「林冰」回国前一周为其举办欢送会。  

「林冰」的父母于2003年10月来到清迈动物园，租期为10年，按规定今年10月也将送返中国。

Thai-Lao meet to mull border links

Thai-Lao meet to mull border links

Thailand and Laos will hold talks over cross-border railway links and the introduction of a single visa during a joint cabinet meeting in Chiang Mai next month.

The meeting will take place on May 19 on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Water Summit.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul and his Lao counterpart Thongloun Sisulit agreed on the arrangements at the 18th Thai-Lao Joint Commission meeting in Prachuap Khiri Khan yesterday.

Mr Surapong said the joint cabinet meeting would be an unofficial one and only related ministers from both countries will attend.

It would be the second Thai-Lao cabinet meeting after the first one was held eight years ago.

Ministers from both countries would discuss cross-border transport of goods, a railway linkage from Thailand via Laos to China, and the introduction of a single visa.

Thailand was ready to develop the railway and would like Laos to hold talks about the issue with China, the minister said.

Border demarcation between the nations is now 93% complete, and will be discussed by senior officials early next month before going to the Joint Boundary Committee meeting in August, Mr Surapong said.

Mr Thongloun said the border problem was a sensitive issue which must be handled carefully.

"It might take time to tackle because the land and water borders are quite long, but I believe the negotiations will come out in a good way," Mr Thongloun said.

Mr Surapong said the countries are planning to upgrade the two temporary border checkpoints at Ban Phudu in Uttaradit province and Ban Huay in Phu Sang district of Phayao province to permanent checkpoints while the process of crossing the border will also be relaxed.

He said Laos is encouraging Thais to invest in the country. Thai investment currently ranks third in Laos after China and Vietnam's.
